Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)

[jackaroo]

Anyone else looking forward to this. Ive never been a true fan of Castlevania but this game looks great. Im in the mood for castlevania lately and i got Super Castlevania IV off of the VC and love it. And since ive heard symphony of the night is a great game i decided to go with this since ive seen vids and it looks awesome.

But one question. Whats the UK Release Date? I went to check on the price on Amazon and its gone. Its not there now. Same with Game UK. It was on there and now its gone. It was there yesterday.

Anyway Discuss and if you can answer my Q.

[DEMON212]

Just get it off e-Bay. I bought it on Monday. Hopefully it'll arrive soon.

Huge Vania fan myself.

Only played about 12 of the 20+ though.

Never had any money growing up, so I missed many.

I really hope the GB games get a re-release on something.

Is the PSP region free? Or is it still NTSC-U and PAL and all that.

[DEMON212]

Region free.

GBA, NDS, PSP and PS3 are all region free.

But... UMD movies, Blu Ray movies and content via the PSN won't work on other regioned machines/games.

But being a PSP game, and being Vania, and it not being online, no content will come out for it.

Thats good to know then. I knew about DS and GBA but i thought PSP's would be different cause of UMD's. Still im gonna order Castlevania PSP off of Ebay. Im really enjoying Super Castlevania IV even though i had to start again twice (Lost the password) when i was really far in.

Yeah, same with me.

If you get it off e-Bay DON'T! Buy from futureplay.

The son of a ***** charged me £27 and then cut his BIN price to sell the last few copies. The people who bought it on the 25th (I bought it on the 22nd) for the cheaper price got the game days before me (they got it on the 30th, I got it today). And it's the JPN version NOT! The U.S version.

Well I found a guy in Hull selling it for £20. And he looks alright. But you never know.

I've left him negative, but my bro's not happy with me buying imports anymore (Joint account). We already have a negative, so if we get one now it doesn't matter.

What's he gonna give us one for? Anything he does give us, people will know it's BS by looking at our feedback, they'll know who was in the wrong.

He shows the U.S version. He says "For the first time Rondo comes to the U.S!". And he says under item location "24 dispatch to U.K" yet the packaging had "Hong Kong" all over it. The back of the box has Japanese on it, and the opening cutscene is only in JPN, even after setting the menu's and voices to "English"

So we're in the right.

Our one negative was from our mam. She doesnt have an e-Bay account, so we let her buy an Action man suit for our kid bro ages ago, and it arrived in terrible condition. But so not to get us a negative, she left him a neutral saying "it arrived". No other contact with him (And because e-Bay saves all of your messages I know she was telling the truth). He left us a negative saying "it was as described". So how did he know why we weren't happy?

He then got about 5 negative in a row and stopped trading. So he was obviously a prick.

lol. What an idiot! but im not sure about buying from there now. If you look nearly every game on there says From Hong Kong. So they could all be japanese. I'll either wait to see if it ends up coming out soon, wait till it is released or just take the risk.

Yeah, see if you can find someone showing an actual picture. I hate stock photos. Sometimes they can be alright, but like this and several other times (Funnily enough with Vania games too. Dissonance and Aria on the GBA. My first 2 e-Bay purchases and both were HK fakes) they can be totally the wrong item.

[DEMON212]

Yep, he left negative at 3 am. I left it at 9 pm. He's clearly in HK.

My dispatch e-mail came 5 hours after I payed. And I payed at 10 pm.

He then sent a mutual withdraw form, so I replied directly to the feedback.

If he replies to that, I'm mentioning the above.

Amazing game! It's my favorite Castlevania game now! I love how there are tons of alternate paths and collectables everywhere. I also like that it's not quite as hard as the other games, but still quite the challenge. I'm glad I got it!(took me long enough )

[Jogurt the Yogurt]

I find it hard!

I got it mainly for Symphony of the Night. That was before I knew I was going to be getting a PS3...
